XStoreBuffer() stores the specified data into any one of the eight cut buffers. All eight buffers must be stored into before they can be
circulated with XRotateBuffers(). The cut buffers are numbered 0 through 7. Use XFetchBuffer() to recover data from any cut buffer.
Note that selections are the preferred method of transferring data between applications.
